Juan Roig y Soler was a Spanish painter, member of the Sitges Luminist School.
Trained at the School of Fine Arts in La Lonja, where he was a disciple of Modesto Urgell, he moved to Paris and Rome to perfect his studies. He was closely linked to Sitges, where he lived since 1881, and started there, together with Arcadio Mas, the informal Catalan Luminist School. Outstanding landscaper, he also painted in Blanes, Tosa de Mar, Cadaqués, Moyá, Camprodón, Barcelona, Mallorca, etc.
His painting, characterized by a delicate technique, demonstrates the artist's predilection for seascapes and urban landscapes. It perfectly represented the beaches of Barcelona.
He left an interesting notebook in which he carefully wrote down the paintings he sold, their price and the person or entity that acquired them, a manuscript that is kept in the Library of Catalonia (Ms. 3023) and that was published in the Bulletin of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Jorge.
